Genuinely though, come and play - BF3 really shines with a full squad, and it gives us more firepower on voice chat to call down at any one time.

I'd agree that the M16 is stupidly powerful [it's my favourite assault gun every now and then. I change my mind a lot] and that recon IS an entirely different game. Although, I play recon differently to everyone else, with a 3.4x scope, silencer and making most of my shots within 200 metres [besides a 650 metre headshot and a 550 metre headshot on a little bird pilot who thought he was safe. mwahaha]

Recon soflam is a key part of any good rush defence strategy however, so it's worth learning to use the spotting and flam to your teams advantage.

Yeah, whenever I play recon, I tend to go with the Semi autos or the PDWs and put down the T-UGS anytime I cap a strongpoint. That thing is a lifesaver. Recon is not all that differnetn when you go the "DMR" route instead of the "Dedicated Sniper" route.
On rush it is completely awesome to use the TUGS or the MAV.

I would also be down for playing with RPS folk, I only just got it in November when it went on sale that one time. I'm Fafhrd42 on Origin and just applied to Rock, Paper, Flechette. I'm a not entirely terrible sniper.

So we have a full squad... That's a start I guess. How about deciding on a day/time, hopping on a server and trying to get a game going? I m not here the weekend but I can play most weeknights this week. My nick is Kata2390 (don't ask) on Origin.

DW and myself are regularly playing with a clan called Destruction Jockeys. If you add me (Capernatious) on BattleLog, you can hop right in when we're online! That's most week nights and during the weekend. If someone wants to set up a place and time to get together and shoot shit, post it here.EDIT: Forgot to post a link to their website.

A friend and I have picked up Premium from Amazon.com for just under a tenner - just use a billing address in the USA (I changed my region to 'California' and just entered '90210' as the ZIP, heh). As a result, we were wondering if anyone would fancy playing a few games across the expansions at the weekend? I was thinking Sunday evening, as I have a GW2 event on the Saturday and it is a bank holiday after all.

Are people still playing and is anyone up for Sunday night?

Guild Wars 2:

Main character name is Seigous Bearheart. I also play on Duke Witherheart. And Lindenheart.

I'm conflicted about this, i do want to try all the gubbins but they ruined so much in bf3 (no servers ran by players directly, unlock level equipment dlc, grinding focus, auto swearing troops)
so I don't know I can upgrade with an easy mind.

Yeah I know what you mean, especially with BF4 on the horizon too. To be honest though, I didn't really have an excuse not to buy it at that price - especially when I potentially have a few people to play with.

It's good to see new people here, I was just about to ask if anyone was still playing. I was trying to get into the game again, but since everyone I know quit BF3 and playing with randoms is not much fun, I thought I might come here.

I've recently started 'hanging out' in the RPS Steam group chat, and I've also recently had pangs of nostalgia which are drawing me back to BF3. If anyone wants to play tonight and I'm not already playing, come give me a prod or something. I can't remember the details for the TS3 nor Mumble server though but they're around somewhere.

There is a Battlefield channel on the Mumble server we use for Planetside - is this the one people use?

server.herosquad.org
port 64738

Post a time here or find me on Mumble. Tonight I'll probably be playing Planetside though.

Well I don't think anyone is using it to play BF3 at the moment but yes, that would be the one. We have three RPS platoons, two full and one half full, and when I was online last night (managed to convince Origin to download the update) I was the only person online. Same goes for other platoons I'm a member of, such as the GT Planet and Pistonheads platoons. It's pretty dead, but I guess most people who got it in the Humble Bundle won't be a member of a platoon yet or whatever.
